Copper Inspired Thanksgiving Table | Styled & Set

Welcome to Styled & Set and my copper inspired Thanksgiving table! I’m so happy to be joining 29 talented women to bring you ideas and inspiration for your own Thanksgiving gatherings. This week we will be sharing an incredible collection of Thanksgiving table ideas. There will be a wide variety of styles…vintage, classic, farmhouse, french country and more. Then, in a few weeks, we’ll all be back with ideas for Christmas. I want to thank my friend Lory of Designthusiasm for rounding all of us up and organizing the tour.

I gave you a quick look at this table when I shared my Thanksgiving Napkin Rings. In fact, I have two different ways you can embellish the napkin, but we’ll get to those a little later. First, let’s start with the centerpiece.

I almost always go with a very easy and quick centerpiece. I believe they can have as much impact as something that took an hour to put together. For this table, I simply put pine cones, white pumpkins and copper leaves in a large ironstone bowl. All it took was a few minutes and a little arranging. (The leaves I had in my stash and I spray painted them with metallic copper.)

Next I decided on the place setting layers. Sometimes I use runners or even a tablecloth to start out. For this copper inspired Thanksgiving table setting, I thought I would let the wood table shine and not cover it. So I went with place mats, chargers and plates. (More on the place mats at the end of the post.)

Along with crystal goblets, I added copper mugs and ivory handled flatware. Now for the napkin details. The first look is pictured below. All I did was lay a sprig of rosemary and a copper leaf on the linen napkin.

The second look is a little more involved…but still very easy. I printed little cards with words that represent the meaning of Thanksgiving. A few hole punches and some ribbon then turned the little cards into napkin rings. Click HERE for the complete tutorial and free printable.

I’ve never used copper in my decor before and I have to admit that I love it. The one drawback is that real copper will tarnish and it needs to be cleaned. One way around that is to spray paint pieces you already have or inexpensive pieces from thrift stores. That’s what I did with the candlesticks, tray and tiny pedestal bowl. You can’t do it with items you will use for eating or drinking, but it’s a great way to add copper to your decor for hardly any money. And it won’t tarnish!

Beautiful, warm, coppery table Ann! It looks so inviting. Thank you especially for the great idea of spray painting place mats!!! I have those EXACT green place mats, a bit discolored from being out on the screened porch all summer. I’m off to buy spray paint!

Ann, I am a huge fan of copper and I love how you used it here! I think the copper spray is particularly brilliant! I also love your napkin treatments, and really, I love it both ways! What a lovely table filed with warmth!!

Ann, I have been crushing on copper this fall too and have been using that same metallic spray paint! I just love those copper mugs on your table and how in the world did I miss a recipe from you on how to make a Moscow Mule? Off to check it out!

So lovely Ann! I love the warmth the copper brings to the neutral colors – right up my alley! I also love the idea of putting the candlestick in the hurricane. I think I might borrow that idea for my own table!

Gosh, Ann, this tablescape is stunning! I’ve always had a special place in my heart for copper, and this look will elevate my collection to perfection. Love the spray painted leaves and placemats. So simple and yet so elegant. Thanks for a beautiful design!

This is so pretty, Ann. I love the copper accents and the spray paint ideas are so pretty and practical. I have some old chargers that could use a new look – copper will be perfect! Thanks for a great post.

Hi Ann! I got the link to you over on The Enchanted Home and I’m glad I stopped by. I’m a lover of copper and have used it a lot lately in a recent home renovation. I’m glad it’s back in fashion. Love how you spray painted your placemats, brilliant!

Such a beautiful table, Ann, and not so overly crowded that I can’t see actual people sitting down there to eat! I think copper has been a bit forgotten for some time and I’m hoping we see more of it as its warmth really adds so much. Thank you!

I loved the mix of copper! I have lots of copper pieces because I used to sell for Coppercraft which was a home party company back in the 80’s before it folded. I need to drag it out and use some of it. Your tablescape was beautiful! Also, I like your blog because I’m not bombarded with moving and blinking ads which distract me and make reading a chore. Thank you and Happy Fall!!

Ann, Its a pleasure partying with you today! I love the idea of using copper, and spray painting additional pieces is so smart! I love the candlesticks inside the hurricanes and the leaves in the centerpiece dish. Very chic and rustic with that coppery sparkle! (PS~Please fix my link, its not working!)
